I took Microsoft essentials and security essentials off. I think I turned off the auto update too. I think those were the things slowing my kids' desktop down to the point of uselessness. Loaded Norton back onto the system which is provided by Comcast.
I read about that security essentials too, it only picks up about 40% of known threats from what I remember. |

Yes about 6 months ago I had to turn off auto updates too..... even had to kill the service using msconfig... the machines would slow down during the day for hours (even though they were scheduled to update at night). |

MS also threw a couple of scheduled nags in for good measure. Boot in safe mode, disable the service, reboot and uninstall ms security essentials, install something else.
